The zImage, bzImage issue is probably because zImage doesn't contain enough compression to fit the kernel into the required size properly - hence why bzImage was formed - bz compression is much more effective than z compression.
The dmesg line is because the cat /proc/pci command has been replaced by something else which I can never remember, but still works for backwards compatibility - so don't worry about that message. To the main issue.. do you have in /etc/modules: soundcore es1370 In my /etc/modules I have soundcore and es1371 (because my card specifically said es1371). I'm not sure whether that is necessary, I'm just grasping at straws... It was a while ago I set mine up. Cheers, Corey J.
